Bolton: Gymfinity Kids acquires Beth Tweddle Gymnastics

Gymfinity Kids, a kids’ activity club company which offers gymnastics, ninja classes, dance and pre-school classes, has struck a deal to take on Beth Tweddle Gymnastics.

Beth's business includes the Beth Tweddle Gymnastics Centre in Bolton, with the headquarters of the firm based in Widnes.

Managing director of Gymfinity Kids, Jacques De Bruin said: “At Gymfinity Kids we are all passionate about getting children to lead more active lifestyles and to form healthy habits, which helps to support their mental and physical health.

“Over the last few years Gymfinity Kids has built great momentum, increasing our membership base and opening new clubs to make gymnastics, Ninja and dance classes accessible to even more children.

“When the opportunity to work with Beth Tweddle Gymnastics presented itself we jumped at it.”

Following the acquisition, the Beth Tweddle Gymnastics centres in Bolton and Widnes will be rebranded as Gymfinity Kids and be incorporated into the business, creating a group of 11 clubs nationwide with around 14,000 members.
